I haven't read the notes super close but I saw that Shadow Priests and Boomkins are getting a 60% armor increase since they are losing their flat damage mitigation, are we getting that to?

Probably something else in mind. We used to get an armor bonus from Fel Armor, but it was woefully inadequate so it was changed to a full mitigation. Given the other changes, they'll probably want to do some testing before working out what will work best for us since Armor didn't work in the past.

So far at least 5.4 changes are a huge slap in the face to locks. A dps and survival nerf both...and yet locks statistically do less dps than mages (individual results may vary), that seems pretty unfair to me. Buffing fel flame a small amount will do next to nothing, I understand perfect balance will never be achieved. Losing KJC in it's current form (and a totally unnecessary slap to Mannorth's fury as well) is just a straight up dps loss to a class that isn't doing out of balance dps. If it's done with actual balance in mind, I'm okay with it. But as it currently stands, it's pretty unfair.

its a bit too soon to call anything a dps nerf, which it really isnt. the kjc change will not change much of your current dps as you're mostly doing MG while moving anyway, and worst case you'll MG a bit while moving during execution the loss is minor and being able to move 150% base movement with burning rush will be very fun atleast and it will actually cause you to get to a safe spot much faster, further reducing your dps loss. the survivability nerf was justified, we barely had to worry about anything in pve.

So? all Blizzard's "official" posts are 95% filtered and controlled PR anyways. I'm sure Blizzard goes for different kinds of feedback to different kinds of forums. Also the fact the the dev in charge of the warlock mop changes was a frequent poster here says a lot.

Well, he did say "official". I think it's pretty obvious that some folks at Blizz read it on their own time and I think it's very likely there is an "official unofficial" policy of monitoring popular fan sites. MMO-C has the benefit of not separating US/EU/Asia players, which I think appeals to many folks (particularly in EU, as I see tons of folks say "can someone post this on the US forums" and "it's not like they read the EU forums anyway", and such)

I work for a company which has it's own officially moderated forums, and it is my job to pull feedback from it. It is also officially part of my job to pull feedback from our well known fan sites, as well as facebook/twitter comments, comments on news stories that are posted about our product, and anything else where we can find feedback about our product. I would be very surprised if the people at Blizzard in charge of gathering feedback aren't doing it in a similar way.

They do, and they often make a big thing to tell us that they do. They may not post, but they most definitely read them.

Well, what I meant by "official unofficial" is ... well, when you're on those fansites, do you post about how you work for (your company) ? Like, "Hey, folks, I'm with (your company), and we'd like to get your feedback on..." ... or do you just read the site, maybe post but not share that you work for (your company) ?
